Back pain.......
So over the past few months I have been dealing with some not so fun upper back pain. SERIOUSLY...there were mornings that I didn't want to get out of bed. At 14, I was diagnosed with scoliosis and wore a back brace for two years. It helped ALOT. I wasn't able to follow up with the doctor after my dad lost his job, and we couldn't afford it. But I still continued to go to a wonderful chiropractor who has helped me in soooo many ways. The chiropractor that I see, doesn't accept insurance, you just pay out of your pocket. Each visit is $35.00. That can get expensive. So I prayed about what I should do. I decided that I would see my family doctor and see what he says. Last week, I was able to get in to see him. He took some x-rays and was able to refer me to get some physical therapy. I went to my first physical therapy appointment yesterday. I loved it! Susan was able to help me learn some stretches that will help me. My upper back is pretty tight. The upper/right side in my back is what hurts the most. After doing several stretches, I felt so much better. She wants me to continue doing these twice a day. I will be going back next week, and hopefully find out if our insurance will pay for several more visits. So very blessed that we have a good health insurance. I really just want this pain to go away.
